ABSTRACT

This invention relates to new quinolone based compounds that exhibit prolyl hydroxylase inhibitory activity. This invention also relates to methods of increasing HIF levels or activity in a subject or treating a condition associated with HIF levels or activity in a subject by administering to the subject at least one quinolone based compound. This invention further involves assays for the detection of a hydroxyproline residue in a HIF molecule.

This application claims the benefit of priority of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/748,577, filed Dec. 9, 2005, and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/785,358, filed Mar. 24, 2006.

The cellular transcription factor HIF (Hypoxia Inducible Factor) occupies a central position in oxygen homeostasis in a wide range of organisms and is a key regulator of responses to hypoxia. The genes regulated by HIF transcriptional activity can play critical roles in angiogenesis, erythropoiesis, hemoglobin F production, energy metabolism, inflammation, vasomotor function, apoptosis and cellular proliferation. HIF can also play a role in cancer, in which it is commonly upregulated, and in the pathophysiological responses to ischemia and hypoxia.

The HIF transcriptional complex comprises an αβ heterodimer: HIF-β is a constitutive nuclear protein that dimerizes with oxygen-regulated HIF-α subunits. Oxygen regulation occurs through hydroxylation of the HIF-α subunits, which are then rapidly destroyed by the proteasome. In oxygenated cells, the von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor protein (pVHL) binds to hydroxylated HIF-α subunits, thereby promoting their ubiquitin dependent proteolysis. This process is suppressed under hypoxic conditions, stabilizing HIF-α and promoting transcriptional activation by the HIF αβ complex. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 6,787,326.

Hydroxylation of HIF-α subunits can occur on proline and asparagine residues and can be mediated by a family of 2-oxoglutarate dependent enzymes. This family includes the HIF prolyl hydroxylase isozymes (PHDs), which hydroxylate Pro 402 and Pro 564 of human HIF1α, as well as Factor Inhibiting HIF (FIH), which hydroxylates Asn 803 of human HIF1α. Inhibition of FIH or the PHDs leads to HIF stabilization and transcriptional activation. See, e.g., Schofield and Ratcliffe, Nature Rev. Mol. Cell Biol., Vol 5, pages 343-354 (2004).

The following are examples of methods that may be used to quantitate HIF PHD activity and the inhibition of HIF PHD activity by compounds of the present invention.

Expression, Purification and Europium Labeling of VCB and Design of an Eu-VCB Based HTRF Assay for the Detection of Hydroxyprolyl HIF1α Peptides

The VCB complex is defined as the Von Hippel-Lindau protein (pVHL), elongin B and elongin C heterotrimeric complex. VCB specifically binds to hydroxyproline residues of HIF1α, initiating polyubiquitinylation of HIF1α and its subsequent proteolytic destruction. In the absence of prolyl hydroxylase activity, VCB does not bind unmodified HIF1α. The VCB complex was expressed in E. coli and purified from the soluble fraction. The amino acid sequences of the three protein components are as follows:

VHL (Amino Acids 54-213) (SEQ ID NO: 1) MHHHHHHEAGRPRPVLRSVNSREPSQVIFCNRSPRVVLPVWLNFDGEPQP YPTLPPGTGRRIHSYRGHLWLFRDAGTHDGLLVNQTELFVPSLNVDGQPI FANITLPVYTLKERCLQVVRSLVKPENYRRLDIVRSLYEDLEDHPNVQKD LERLTQERIAHQRMGD ElonginB (SEQ ID NO: 2) MDVFLMIRRHKTTIFTDAKESSTVFELKRIVEGILKRPPDEQRLYKDDQL LDDGKTLGECGFTSQTARPQAPATVGLAFRADDTFEALCIEPFSSPPELP DVMKPQDSGSSANEQAVQ* ElonginC (Amino Acids 17-112) (SEQ ID NO: 3) MYVKLISSDGHEFIVKREHALTSGTIKAMLSGPGQFAENETNEVNFREIP SHVLSKVCMYFTYKVRYTNSSTEIPEFPIAPEIALELLMAANFLDC The N-terminus of VHL contains a six histidine affinity tag for purification purposes.

A VCB-based assay allows a highly sensitive and direct measurement of enzymatic product formation (HIF1α protein or fragments thereof containing a hydroxylated proline residue) and is suitable for high throughput screening.

For expression in E. coli, VHL 54-213 was cloned into pAMG21 (Plux promoter) between the NdeI-XhoI site. Immediately downstream of this is the ElonginC gene cloned into the XhoI site to SacII. There is a 13 bp spacer between the stop codon of VHL and the initiating codon of ElonginC. The expression plasmid pAMG21 is a 6118 base pair plasmid that was derived from the expression vector pCFM1656 (ATCC #69576), which in turn can be derived from the expression vector system described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,710,473. This design allows for chemical rather than thermal induction of protein expression by substitution of the promoter region, replacing a synthetic bacteriophage lambda pl promoter with a DNA segment containing the LuxR gene and the LuxPR promoter, and affords regulation of expression by the plasmid-encoded LuxR protein, thereby allowing any E. coli strain to serve as host.

ElonginB was cloned into pTA2 (pACYC184.1 based vector) under the control of a Lac promoter. Competent E. coli cells were transformed with the pAMG21-VHL-ElonginC construct. These E. coli cells were rendered competent again prior to transformation with the pTA2-elonginB construct to produce the final E. coli strain containing both plasmid constructs. Induction of protein expression was initiated by the addition of IPTG and N-(3-oxo-hexanoyl)-homoserine lactone (HSL) at 30° C.

Bacterial cells were lysed by a microfluidizer in aqueous buffer of pH 8.0 and the soluble fraction was separated by centrifugation. The soluble E. coli fraction was subjected to Nickel-NTA chelating chromatography to utilize the six histidine affinity tag located on the pVHL construct. The pooled fractions from the nickel column were applied to a Superdex 200 size exclusion chromatography (SEC) column. The protein eluted as a monomer on SEC, indicating that the three protein components formed a complex in solution. The fractions from the SEC column were pooled and applied to a Q Sepharose anion exchange column for final purification. The purified complex was visualized by SDS-PAGE and the identities of the three protein components were confirmed by N-terminal amino acid sequencing.

Purified VCB was exchanged into 50 mM sodium carbonate buffer pH 9.2 and labeled with a europium chelate overnight. LANCE™ europium chelate (PerkinElmer, Inc; Eu-W1024 ITC chelate; catalog number is AD0013) was used to label the lysine residues of the VCB complex. The chelate contains an isothiocyanate reactive group that specifically labels proteins on lysine residues (there are fifteen lysine residues in the VCB protein complex). The resulting europylated VCB was purified by desalting columns and quantitated by standard means. The labeling yield was determined to be 6.6 europium groups per one VCB complex.

Two peptides were produced by SynPep, Inc: a hydroxyproline modified peptide and an unmodified control peptide. VCB was expected to specifically bind to the hydroxyproline modified peptide (a mimic of enzymatic hydroxylation by prolyl hydroxylase). VCB was not expected to bind to the unmodified peptide. Both peptides were produced with a biotin group at the N-terminus to allow for binding by the streptavidin-labeled fluorescent acceptor allophycocyanin (streptavidin APC; Prozyme, Inc.).

The sequence of the custom synthesized HIF1α peptides (amino acids 556-575, with methionine residues replaced with alanine residues to prevent oxidation) were as follows:

(SEQ ID NO: 4) (unmodified) Biotin-DLDLEALAPYIPADDDFQLR-CONH₂ (SEQ ID NO: 5) (modified) Biotin-DLDLEALA[hyP]YIPADDDFQLR-CONH₂

The peptides were purchased from SynPep as lyophilized solids and were suspended in DMSO for experimental use. The peptides were quantitated according to their absorbance at 280 nm.

Experiments were conducted in 96 well Costar polystyrene plates. Biotinylated peptides and europylated VCB were suspended in the following buffer: 100 mM HEPES 7.5, 0.1 M NaCl, 0.1% BSA and 0.05% Tween 20. The reagents were allowed to reach equilibrium by shaking for 1 hour before the plates were read on the Discovery Instrument (Packard). The data output is the ratio of the 665 nm and 620 nm emission signal resulting from the 320 nm excitation.

As shown in FIG. 1, the specific interaction of europylated VCB with the hydroxyproline modified HIF1α peptide coupled to streptavidin APC generated a fluorescence signal detectable over the background signal. These results demonstrate a fluorescence signal generated by the specific interaction of Eu-VCB with hyp-HIF1α peptide. Each bar represents the data from a single well of a 96 well assay plate. The signal to background ratio was calculated from data from a control plate (unmodified peptide). Eu-VCB concentration was titrated across rows (nM) and streptavidin APC concentrations were titrated down columns. The peptide concentration was fixed at 100 nM.

Detection of Enzymatically Converted Hydroxyprolyl HIF-1α by HIF PHD2 and Inhibition of HIF PHD2 Activity

Binding of the P564-HIF1α peptide to VCB was validated utilizing the homogeneous time-resolved FRET (HTRF) technology. A 17 amino acid (17 aa) peptide with an N-terminally labeled biotin molecule corresponding to amino acid sequences 558 to 574 of the HIF1α protein was synthesized in-house (DLEMLAPYIPMDDDFQL) (SEQ ID NO: 6). A second 17 aa peptide containing a hydroxylated proline at position 564 was chemically generated to mimic the PHD enzyme converted product form of the protein that is recognized by VCB. The assay was performed in a final volume of 100 μl in buffer containing 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8), 100 mM NaCl, 0.05% heat inactivated FBS, 0.05% Tween-20, and 0.5% NaN₃. The optimal signal over background and the linear range of detection was determined by titrating the hydroxylated or unhydroxylated peptide at varied concentrations between 0 and 1 μM with a titration of VCB-Eu at varying concentrations between 0 and 50 nM with 50 nM of streptavidin APC. The binding reagents were allowed to reach equilibrium by shaking for 1 hour before it was read on the Discovery Instrument (Packard). The data output is the ratio of the 665 nm and 620 nm emission signal resulting from the 320 nm excitation.

HIF PHD2 activity was detected by P564-HIF1α peptide and VCB binding in the HTRF format. HIF PHD2 was assayed at various concentrations between 0 and 400 nM with 3 μM HIF1α peptide in buffer containing 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 100 mM NaCl, 0.05% Tween 20, 2 mM 2-oxoglutarate (2-OG), 2 mM ascorbic acid and 100 μM FeCl₂ in a final volume of 100 μL. The time-course was determined by periodically transferring 2.5 μL of the reaction into 250 μl of 10×HTRF buffer containing 500 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 1M NaCl, 1% BSA, and 0.5% Tween-20 to terminate the enzyme reaction. 15 nM HIF-1α peptide from the terminated reaction was added to 35 nM streptavidin-APC and 10 nM VCB-Eu to a final volume of 100 μl in 10×HTRF buffer. The HTRF reagents were placed on a shaker for 1 hour before detection on the Discovery platform.

As demonstrated in FIG. 2, there was a dose dependent increase in HTRF signal resulting from binding of the hydroxylated-P564-HIF1α peptide to VCB-Eu compared to the unhydroxylated form of the peptide resulting in a 14 fold signal over noise ratio at 125 nM HIF1α peptide. VCB binding to the APC bound peptide permits a FRET transfer between the Eu and APC. The signal was linear to 2 nM peptide with 3.125 nM VCB, but increases to 62.5 nM peptide with 50 nM VCB resulting in a larger linear range.

HTRF detection utilizing Eu-labeled VCB is a practical system for determining HIF PHD2 catalytic activity. HIF PHD2 hydroxylation of the HIF1α peptide results in the increase affinity of VCB to the peptide and hence and increased FRET signal. As shown in FIG. 3, activity was verified with a fairly linear and an increasing HTRF signal over time. There was a dose dependant increase in initial rates with increasing HIF PHD2 enzyme concentration up to 400 nM. The initial rates were linear to 100 nM enzyme.

Inhibition of HIF PHD2 activity was quantified utilizing the HTRF technology. HIF PHD2 catalyzes a hydroxyl modification on the proline residue of the P564-HIF1α peptide substrate (Biotin-DLEMLAPYIPMDDDFQL) (SEQ ID NO: 6) resulting in recognition and binding of the europylated Von Hippel-Lindau protein (pVHL), elongin B and elongin C heterotrimeric (VCB-Eu) complex.

The PHD2 inhibition assay was executed by addition of freshly dissolved FeCl₂ to 178.57 μM (100 μM final concentration) in PHD2 Reaction Buffer containing 30 mM MES, pH 6, 10 mM NaCl, 0.25% Brij-35, 0.01% BSA, and 1% DMSO. 28 μL of the iron solution and 2 μl of inhibitor compounds serially diluted in 100% DMSO (5% DMSO final) were added to black polypropylene 96-well microtiter plates. To that, 10 μL of 10 nM PHD2 (2 nM final) was added to all wells of the plate except for the 8 wells of column 12 (LO control), and allowed to incubate at room temperature on the shaker for one hour. Column 6 was the HI control containing PHD2 enzyme and 5% DMSO vehicle, but no inhibitor compound. To initiate the PHD2 enzymatic reaction, 10 μL of a solution containing 500 nM P564-HIF1α peptide (100 nM final), 10 mM ascorbic acid (2 mM final), and 1.25 μM 2-oxoglutarate (α-ketoglutarate; 0.25 μM final) in PHD2 Reaction Buffer was added to all wells of the plate and allowed to incubate on the shaker at room temperature for one hour.

The reaction was terminated by addition of 25 μL HTRF Buffer (50 mM TRIS-HCl, pH 9, 100 mM NaCl, 0.05% BSA, and 0.5% Tween-20) containing 150 mM succinate (product inhibitor; 50 mM final), 75 nM streptavidin-APC (25 nM final), and 7.5 nM VCB-Eu (2.5 nM final). The HTRF detection reagents were placed on a shaker for 1 hour to reach binding equilibrium before reading on the Discovery platform (PerkinElmer). Europium is excited at 315 nm and phosphoresces at 615 nm with a large Stoke's shift. APC, in turn, emits at 655 nm upon excitation at 615 nm. The HTRF signal is measured as the ratio of the APC 655 nm signal divided by the internal europium reference 615 nm emission signal.

The POC (percentage of control) was determined by comparing the signal from hydroxylated peptide substrate in the enzyme reaction containing inhibitor compound with that from PHD2 enzyme with DMSO vehicle alone (HI control), and no enzyme (LO control). POC was calculated using the formula: % control (POC)=(cpd−average LO)/(average HI−average LO)*100. Data (consisting of POC and inhibitor concentration in μM) was fitted to a 4-parameter equation (y=A+((B−A)/(1+((x/C)^D))), where A is the minimum y (POC) value, B is the maximum y (POC), C is the x (cpd concentration) at the point of inflection and D is the slope factor) using a Levenburg-Marquardt non-linear regression algorithm.

In certain embodiments, compounds of the present invention exhibit a HIF PHD inhibitory activity IC₅₀ value of 40 μM or less. In additional embodiments, compounds of the present invention exhibit a HIF PHD inhibitory activity IC₅₀ value of 10 μM or less.

Ruthenylation and Application of His-Tagged VCB in Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) Detection Assay

Ruthenylated VCB (Ru-VCB) was produced that retained HIF binding activity and was used to develop a bead-based electrochemiluminescence assay for the detection of hydroxylated HIF peptides.

The following HIF1α peptides were synthesized (amino acids 558-574):

(SEQ ID NO: 6) Biotin-HIF: DLEMLAPYIPMDDDFQL (SEQ ID NO: 7) Biotin-HIF-OH: DLEMLA[hyP]YIPMDDDFQL

VCB, produced as described above, was ruthenylated (covalently through lysine residues) by mixing 500 μL of VCB (1 mg/mL in 50 mM carbonate buffer, pH 9.0) with 50 μL of ORI-TAG™-NHS ester (Bio Veris Corporation, Gaithersburg, Md.; 3 mg/mL in 100% DMSO) for a 12:1 Ru:VCB molar challenge ratio. The sample was wrapped in foil to protect it from light and the chemical conjugation was allowed to occur for one hour at room temperature. The reaction was stopped by adding 20 μL 2M glycine and incubating for 10 minutes. Ru-VCB was purified from unconjugated Ru-tag by dialysis into storage buffer (20 mM Tris pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl).

To evaluate the use of Ru-VCB as an ECL detection reagent for biotin-HIF-OH (as well as to explore sensitivity and linear range), both biotin-HIF and biotin-HIF-OH were serially diluted and mixed with varying concentrations of Ru-VCB and 0.33 ug/uL streptavidin M280 Dynabeads (Invitrogen) in assay buffer (50 mM Tris-Hcl, pH 8.0, 100 mM NaCl, 0.05% Tween 20, 0.5% NaN₃). After a two-hour incubation at room temperature with shaking, the reaction was read on the M-SERIES™ analyzer (Bio Veris Corporation, Gaithersburg, Md.). A low voltage was applied to the Ru-VCB/biotin-HIF-OH binding complexes, which in the presence of Tripropylamine (TPA, the active component in the ECL reaction buffer, BV-GLOW™, Bio Veris Corporation, Gaithersburg, Md.), resulted in a cyclical redox reaction generating light at 620 nm. The signal was detected on the Discovery platform.

FIG. 4 illustrates the Ru-VCB/biotin-HIF-OH binding curve and linear range determination. Results are expressed as luminescence at 620 nm for Ru-VCB plus biotin-HIF-OH divided by the signal from Ru-VCB plus biotin-HIF. The assay can detect as little as 0.097 nM of hydroxylated biotin-HIF peptide standard (limit of detection=2×s/b) and is linear up to 1.56 nM.
